Why PZTM (DG captured footage of residue burning, paddy harvesting, marking at field, potato sowing process, using FYM, cow manure irrigation process through spray machine, fertilizer application, harvesting process including crop cuttings process and finally farmers concerns.  

Low cost and easy to adopt technology.

Minimizing burning of paddy residue.

Potato sowing after 10-15 days of paddy harvest by using moisture content of previous crop.

Saving water, control air and soil pollution from fertilizer use.

Minimal water requirement, less pest attack, protect from late blight and less fertilizer

Soil health condition improves. 10% Less water content potato.

No need to plough the field.

Less labor intensive at the time of sowing and harvesting.

Saving at least one irrigation and less pest attack.

In mulch tuber growth is better as compare to tuber under soil.

Store for longer duration.

How PZTM does works (different stages of PZTM).

Potato seeds (no need to buy foundation and certified seeds from market).  

Fresh paddy straw for mulch

FYM .

If adequate moisture is not available then remove 1/2 inches surface soil.

P2P distance should be 12cm and R2R should be at least 1feet.

Mulch (Paddy straw)

Control weeds and pest attack.

Improves soil health condition.

20 inches mulch, Water storage capacity

Maintain moisture

Complete filed covered with mulch

Intercrop by maize is possible.

Quality of Mulch.

Fertilizer /zero budget application.

Urea, SSP application. Use of mathast (natural farming practice for pest control).

Foliar spray (1^st

 after 30 days, 2^nd after 45 days)

Harvesting process

Steps of harvesting

Less labor requirement.

Drudgery reduction
